    Pulled from last thread…

    When I was a candidate, my first trip to the region was to visit troops. Then I went to Israel — not with donors, not to attend fundraisers, but to remind myself of the nature of evil… I visited the cities were Hamas missiles dropped near childrens bedrooms and thought about what that might mean to me, had my children been there…

    “It was worth moving heaven and earth” to get bin Laden. By choosing those words, PBO both threw Mitthead’s earlier comment back at his jugular, but also subconsciously reminded voters that President Obama, not Mitt, did, in fact, move heaven and earth when ordering our Navy SEALs to go into Pakistan to get bin Laden.

    PBO’s closing was strong; spoke directly to us with a plan.

    Full of lies and the same talking points.

    What are good democrats and good republicans”?

    I am still predicting that Obama-Biden will win 46 states on November 06.

    Romney: saying I would let Detroit go bankrupt is ‘height of silliness’
    SHARE His plan for the auto bailout, however, would have ensured the collapse of the auto industry. In his editorial titled “Let Detroit Go Bankrupt,” Romney advocated for letting the private sector finance the bankruptcy of General Motors and Chrysler. Auto insiders, however, have said that plan was “reckless” and “pure fantasy.”

    CNN focus group is Florida undecideds. The bar moved up during PBO’s close, stayed flat during Mitty’s

    LOL! Romney’s grandkids look more excited to see PBO than their own Grandpa.

    Mitt’s own grandson doesn’t want to stay in his arms

    Mitt he cockroach has been crushed. Now I wonder what Faux News is planning to say about this debate. I also wonder how come this fool has people voting for him after tonight. And why are they shaking hands with them, especcially Tagg’s?

    OMG! Ann just held onto her husband while he was shaking hands with people, it was like she thought he was going to fall down off the stage. lmao!

    No matter what, that’s the last debate for both of them. Next election will have 2 new nominees. President Obama is pure leadership & character. You feel very secure with him at the helm. Van Jones said one time, PBO took the wheel of the titanic after it hit the iceberg, I think he saved the entire ship and steered it all way to port!
